The MRC Light Genie makes it easy to add a wide variety of realistic lighting effects to model railroads
Concerning track detection for crossing flashers: Couldn’t the circuit from the “genie” be ON all the time, but be intercepted by a track detector between it and the flashers?
Slick. Gotta get one.
I hope it is in Canada now….
How is it powered and wired?
Looks like it might be useful.
Nice exit.
Steve,
Very neat operation and easy programming. Thanks for the demo and MRVP is doing magic too?
does it only work with what is shown or anything, and if anything how do you program something new??
Great presentation of that nifty lighting system Steve. Looks like lights on our layouts are becoming easier and more realistic all of the time. Thanks.
OK, so whose hand was that on screen left at the end, David is that you? At any rate, very interesting demo.
